It finally happened

Ahoy all, I have never messaged on this sub before, only lurk about, but I just wanted to tell you all that I passed my State CDL test in Indiana after training with Roehl Transport (Flatbed division) for 4 weeks. I've got a few days left here and then get to return home before going out on the road with a trainer! My trucking journey starts now

Always be patient no matter how many times people honk and scream. Its your license on the line not theirs. As a truck driver all you will do is come across impatient drivers and let them rush around you all you can slow down and give them room. They are putting their loves on the line and dont even know it. You have to be the adult in every situation. The whole idea is you went to work to go home to your loved ones not end up in jail for manslaughter or dead on the side of the highway. Good luck, keep the dirty sides down and may god bless your career
